   | Oz_toffa and I collected an Early Florian a while back from the Wilmington Toy Museum.    Now time to get some bits done on it to get it on the road!.    Just collected a set of Mitsi Scorpion Wheels for it as I doubt the hub caps are in the boot and need to get a key cut to find out     The wheels need one heck of a clean BUT have NO road rash1    Only thing the Headlights have been swapped out for later versions, I have the original lenses thanks to Matt but would like to track down the surrounds! If any one has even one that would be fantastic.    Josh

   | Can you take out the back seat to get into the boot Josh?
 That looks like it will clean up nicely.

   | Have thought about going through the boot but will try getting the key cut from the passenger door lock number.The car came from central SA so not much rust.

   | Yeah, I'm looking forward to that too. I remember getting the back seat out of one I didn't have a key for, and getting a realy long screwdriver to trip the catch. Then I was looking under the front at the suspension when I spied a magnetic spare key holder behind the skirt (valence). Sure enough the key was in there, so I could shut the boot again! Those wheels should look good and carry a bit more rubber than standard ones. You do know that I have a spare set of hubbies though, don't you?     Cheers, Matt._________________

   | Oh I like the Idea of extending a screwdriver, I can modify a metal curtain rod to hold one!     I have quite a few Luv blanks so i can remove the lock and use the 4 digit code on the back to get a key cut. I didnt know you had another set of Caps       , I will still have the original rims Sand Blasted and Powder Coated and tyre's fitted. The Alloys wont be much wider as I already had a set 175/75/14's and nuts for them. I was hoping to maybe get 15" Sigma GSR rims to give a bit more top end but thought the 14" would look better     Sad when you get bored and crudely mock up what it would look like LOL     Josh

   | So I was in the shed looking for something else, when I found a couple of items. I hadn't realised there was a difference in the headlight trims between models, but the lights are different, so naturally they are too! Attachment:
